Bio

I've been singing and playing music since age 7. I started singing and acting in musicals and plays and have never stopped. I began playing guitar around age 10 and started playing banjo in my teens. I've played in various bands from rock blues bluegrass country folk and contemporary Christian.

I've also hosted and produced 3 radio shows have been an award winning professional speaker and have written a book and recorded and produced an audio program called 'Twelve Secrets of a Great Voice.' It's fun singing and playing. Yet I also enjoy teaching others how to sing speak and play. I've been a teacher for over 24 years including teaching Voice and Public Speaking at the University of Memphis for the past 12 years. I've held private individual lessons and group lessons for a long time too.

I have seen and heard some incredible improvements in my students. Recently I trained several students ages 8-24 and 1 older adult to compete in Hollywood at the World Championship of Performing Arts. Out of 14 students 11 placed in this highly competitive worldwide competition. Also 3 students got signed to performing contracts at the competition and 4 got scholarships to prestigious schools in New York City! Teaching is a passion for me just like singing and playing music. I have a lot of patience with children youth and adults. I know what it takes and when the student is willing to do the work a lot of great things will happen. You will develop a great voice whether it's singing or speaking and you'll have more self-confidence.

In teaching guitar I start with the basics and work from there. I am not a fancy or fast player and don't teach Eddie Van Halen licks. However I do teach rock blues country folk bluegrass and contemporary Christian guitar methods. I also teach students how to play and sing at the same time which is a challenge for some people. As a songwriter I also teach songwriting and lyric composition.

So if any of this sounds interesting to you and you would like to explore taking lessons please email me and we'll go from there!
